Radio Configuration
The Optimize Radio Network For setting on the Express Setup page selects the
data rate settings automatically. When you select Optimize Radio Network For
Throughput on the Express Setup page, all four data rates are set to basic. When
you select Optimize Radio Network For Range on the Express Setup page, the
1.0 data rate is set to basic, and the other data rates are set to Yes.
Transmit Power
This setting determines the power level of radio transmission.
Note Government regulations define the highest allowable power level for radio
devices. This setting must conform to established standards for the country in
which you use the access point.
To reduce interference or to conserve power, select a lower power setting. The
settings in the drop-down menu on 350 series access points include 1, 5, 20, 50,
and 100 milliwatts. The settings in the drop-down menu on 340 series access
points include 1, 5, and 30 milliwatts.
Note The power settings available on your access point depend on the regulatory
domain for which the access point is configured. Your power settings might be
different from the settings listed here.
Frag. Threshold
This setting determines the size at which packets are fragmented (sent as several
pieces instead of as one block). Enter a setting ranging from 256 to 2338 bytes.
Use a low setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great
deal of radio interference.
RTS Threshold
This setting determines the packet size at which the access point issues a request
to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be
useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the access point, or
in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the access point and
not each other. Enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2339 bytes.
